“And if the truth was as the government claims, I wouldn’t be standing up for my husband here today, because as I have said, I will not put my life at risk for anyone. So the reason I’m standing here today, is because I know my husband is innocent and he rightfully should be at home or after all the misconduct, he at the very least deserves a new trial with counsel who can and will present his case.” CYNDI STEELE From the ACLU to hard-core traditional conservative pundits, opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act is united. Yet you hear almost nothing in the propaganda media about the final nail in the coffin of the Republic. Legalizing a draconian police state is in place. Burning the final copy of the Bill of Rights accomplished at last. Finally, the goal of inflicting universal fear in the minds of every American who still possesses the ability of critical thinking is now complete. Will anyone care about the interment of citizens in the entombment of maximum security prisons? The NDAA leaves no doubt. No one is safe.
Ask E.D. Kain, who writes in Forbes,
“If Obama does one thing for the remainder of his presidency let it be a veto of the National Defense Authorization Act – a law recently passed by the Senate which would place domestic terror investigations and interrogations into the hands of the military and which would open the door for trial-free, indefinite detention of anyone, including American citizens, so long as the government calls them terrorists.”
Well, we know that Obama signed this draconian edict into law. The intention of this legislation is to eradicate the constitution. Jonathan Turley writes in the Guardian, The NDAA’s historic assault on American liberty, agrees.
“On the NDAA, reporters continue to mouth the claim that this law only codifies what is already the law. That is not true. The administration has fought any challenges to indefinite detention to prevent a true court review. Moreover, most experts agree that such indefinite detention of citizens violates the constitution.”
Chuck Baldwin warns in the essay, BILL OF RIGHTS IS NO MORE and chastises the Statist NeoCons for their complicit silence or even their phony arguments and apology for the loss of Liberty.
“Americans should realize that, coupled with the Patriot Act, the NDAA, for all intents and purposes, completely nullifies a good portion of the Bill of Rights, turns the United States into a war zone, and places US citizens under military rule. And what is even more astonishing is the manner in which the national press corps, and even the so-called “conservative” talking heads, have either completely ignored it, or have actually defended it. The likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al., should be ashamed of themselves!”
Think you are secure and never to be one of the prey hunted by an American Gestapo? Even before the passage of the NDAA legislation, targeting of dissenting voices is a common practice. In the era of “Guantanamo Incarceration”, silencing internal rebellion means eliminating voices of political opposition. The case of attorney Edgar J. Steele is a frightening example of the corrupt iniquity of the state and the lengths taken to destroy one man (and his family).
If you are not familiar with this tragedy, read and review the full account and details in THE FRAME-UP OF EDGAR STEELE, the outrageous railroading of a truth-teller whom the liars don’t like. The summary posed by the kangaroo court proceedings states, “In an appalling miscarriage of justice, the exceedingly politically incorrect lawyer Edgar J. Steele was found guilty on all four trumped-up charges.” Rayelan, the publisher of Rumor Mill News offers up this analysis in Edgar J. Steele… Did the ADL Set Him Up?
“Edgar J. Steele was thrust into the public eye when he defended Pastor Richard G. Butler, founder of a white supremacist organization, the Aryan Nations.
IMO his arrest and conviction was a direct payback by the ADL.
Here is the ADL url for the article about him. All you have to do is read the url to see what I mean.”
